Easily the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel is the appliances. Deciding what you can fit, and where you want it to go is a personal choice when making a kitchen update. Some tips from the experts can help you figure out what appliance layout works best for you.

While a triangle is important, it may not be the only solution for your layout. Traditionally, kitchen layouts revolve around the connection between the sink, stove, and the refrigerator. Keeping everything within arm’s reach while you are cooking is the purpose of the triangle shape.

Be sure your appliances aren’t too large, as they can compromise storage or counter space. Smaller ovens heat quickly and are very economical. Keep your appliances in proportion with one another.

When square footage is limited, appliances can be tricky to plan out. Smaller kitchens may have a more straightforward work triangle. The smaller area will make it easier to keep everything close when working in the kitchen.

If you aren’t able to get an appliance to work in a small area, make sure your storage for food and tools is in an appropriate space - that can aide in keeping the workflow efficient. Maybe keep your sink, oven and refrigerator all on the same wall, then have prep space on the opposite wall.

Don’t try and overdo the amount of space you allow for your appliances. Think carefully about what exactly you need, and how much counter space you’re going to want open and clear. At the end of the day, it’s going to need to be what works best for you.
